Port Royal Launches Golf N’ Pilates Programme
Port Royal Golf Course has launched their Golf n’ Pilates programme, saying it helps to teach “students how to get better at their golf by getting better control of their body.”
Port Royal Golf Pro Kim Swan said they had 21 participants for the launch of Golf n’ Pilates, and they were very pleased with that response.
“A huge thank you to Marta Tomaszek who did an outstanding job bringing Pilates to you in a real setting on our lovely front lawn and patio at Port Royal,” Mr Swan said.
“Golf n’ Pilates sessions forms part of our vision here at Port Royal Golf Developmental Program to teach our students how to get better at their golf by getting better control of their body.
“This physical fitness component ties in with the Sports Psychology initiative we previously introduced with Dr. Bernard Jensen from the University of Central Florida.
Mr Swan continued, “We are working to offer both of these services to our students on a regular basis to expose them to the practice regimes that those of us playing golf competitively must engage and utilize on a consistent basis.
“Also, thanks to Greg Maybury, Director of Operations at Port Royal Golf Course and Livio Ferigo of Bella Vista Grill for their support of our Golf n’ Pilates initiative. The refreshments at the conclusion provided the basis for a nice social at our Golf n’ Pilates launch.
“We will be sharing our dates/times for future Golf n’ Pilates events at Port Royal Golf Course.
“Personally, I am excited to be sharing the methodology that I gleaned while competing at golf for Troy University in the NCAA, as a member on the PGA European Tour and around the world over several decades.
“The Golf n’ Pilates connection forged with Marta – through one of our mutual students – has provided a unique opportunity to convey to the golf community another important aspect of golf development.
“Your golf development is our main aim – thanks for your support – as we work to take you to a higher level in golf.”
Great work Marta/Kim! Good luck with it; looks like it will be a fantastic and beneficial program.
